My in-laws are out of state. That means that whenever a gift-giving time comes up that I either have to order something and have it shipped to them or buy something here and ship it their way.
The main problem with ordering a gift and having it sent IS you (1) never really know if or when it arrives and (2) you fear that the company will leave the invoice in the package and your recipient will know what you spent! Not always a good thing, especially for us frugal bargain hunters!
The problem with buying the perfect gift in town and shipping it is that the shipping frequently costs as much as the gift! ARGH!!!
What’s the answer? GIFT CARDS!!!!
You aren’t stuck with just the card offerings at the local bigbox store either - or driving all over town to the fav pancake house or burger joint. Nope. You can now buy and send real digital and/or physical gift cards from FriendGiftr! AND you can even buy them via Facebook, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android!
Think about it - birthdays, holidays, special occasions, or just because. You can choose from over 120 different stores and restaurants. You can buy them in increments of $10, $20, $25, $35, $50, $75, and $100. Your recipient can then get what they really want OR exchange it for any of the 120 stores!
I’ve found that the in-laws really appreciate gift cards. That way they can choose their own gift and they don’t end up with more ’stuff’ they don’t need or can use.
